The Crawley and District Football League was a football competition in England which was founded with a single division in 1956–57. It expanded to three divisions in 1957–58; most of the teams came from the expansion of the industrial estate. In the 1980s the league had eight divisions, with the league taking in teams from leagues in Surrey.
With the demise of the large factories teams folded, new pubs teams entered and gradually the league went down to three divisions. The then-committee decided to fold the league. During its heyday many clubs moved up into the Sussex County League (SCL) when a better pyramid system was adopted. Dorking Wanderers have been the most successful club to be in the league make their way to the National League one step from the Football League. After the 2005–06 season, South Park made the jump into the CCL. The Crawley & District League Premier Division sat at step 7 (or level 11) of the National League System. 2008–09 Champions Bletchingley transferred to the Surrey Elite Intermediate League in 2009–10. In 2009–10 Merstham Newton went the entire league season unbeaten to become Premier Division Champions for the second time in five years.
At the end of the 2009–10 season, the league disbanded and its member clubs joined the Mid-Sussex League or the West Sussex League.
